The team with a very routine and mundane task (Team Alpha) is likely to be the least effective as they may become bored or disengaged with their work, leading to lower productivity and creativity. The other teams have either set high performance standards (Team Gamma), resolved conflicts (Team Delta), or have hardworking and satisfied team members (Team Beta), which are all positive factors for effectiveness.
